Welcome to PRETx

Vision

Mission

To disseminate new therapeutics research into practice for the management of children with acute illness and injury.

Children requiring urgent care in
emergency departments, intensive care units and other acute care
settings, have unique needs. This is especially true for those with
serious and life-threatening emergencies. The field of Pediatric
Acute and Critical Care has rapidly evolved over the last two decades
and new scientific research provides ample opportunities in excellent
care for children. The dissemination of such information and
translation into practice takes many years.

The Pediatric Research in Emergency
Therapeutics (PRETx) program has been offering an extensive free
online database for the last 10 years. The information provides free
access to the most up-to-date information available for clinicians
and researchers in the pediatric acute care field, and allows
dissemination of information around the world in a comfortable and
simple way.

PRETx also offers new evidence through
its research arm, conducting retrospective, observational and
prospective studies. The PRETx educational arm involves a post
doctoral research fellowship in pediatric emergency medicine, several
programs for all levels of training and courses to help transfer
knowledge into action in acute care pediatrics.
